Across the political spectrum—from the Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM) on the left to Harvard Right to Life (HRL) on the right—campus activists hold unrealistic goals and use tactics that are poorly designed and alienating to those who might otherwise support them. Activists would gain wider acceptance and would be far more effective if they were more reasonable and pragmatic...

Grizzle ’07 said two weeks ago to her staff of pro-lifers sitting around a table in Leverett’s private dining room. The subject of this prematurely aborted campaign? A highly stylized and now infamous fetus named “Elena.”It was only a few weeks ago that House open-lists were raging over pictures of a growing fetus professing to have 46 chromosomes, early signs of exceptional hand...
